Do you enjoy being active, whether it’s running, playing golf, or spending time with your kids, but suffer from back pain or other injuries? There are various treatments and adjustments that can help you improve your body’s mobility and alleviate pain.

 

One common issue that many runners and golfers face is tight hips, which can lead to lower back pain. By making adjustments to your hips, you can reduce stress on your back and improve your overall performance.

 

Dry needling is another effective treatment option for those experiencing elbow or muscle pain from playing golf, tennis, or working at a computer. By inserting thin acupuncture needles into areas of muscle tension, dry needling can help relax muscles and reduce pain.

 

However, sometimes adjustments and massages may not be enough to treat your condition. In such cases, corrective and rehab exercises can be useful in addressing your condition and improving your body’s movement. By providing you with exercises to do at home, we can help you achieve optimal physical wellness and improve your quality of life.

 

For overhead athletes such as golfers and tennis players, shoulder pain and tightness can be a common issue. Soft tissue work and pin and stretch techniques can be used to target trigger points and knots in the muscles, while functional or structural tape can provide additional support to aid in recovery.

 

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, schedule an appointment with us. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal physical wellness and improve your performance as an athlete, so you can continue doing the things you love

Adjusting the Hip and other joints

Are you a golfer or a runner and dealing with some lower back pain? It might be because your hips are tight. So what I’m going to show you are a few adjustments that we can do to get your hips, to loosen up better and to work better and take a little bit of stress off your back.

 

There are multiple ways we can adjust your hips. The hip joint itself is meant to be a mobile joint and when it gets stiff, your body still wants to be active running and playing golf. Then your lower back starts to compensate and starts to move more and it’s just going to get chewed up because it is trying to compensate for the hips and do their job.

Hip Adjustments To Help With Lower Back Pain / Orem, Utah Chiropractor

 

If you are experiencing elbow pain or muscle pain from playing golf, tennis, or working at a computer, dry needling might be the solution for you. 

 

This treatment involves the use of thin acupuncture needles inserted into areas of muscle that have increased tension. This can help relieve local or referred pain caused by trigger points or fascial tension points. By stimulating the body’s natural healing response, dry needling can help relax the muscle and fascial tension areas during treatment, leading to effective pain relief.

 

Dry needling is a safe and effective treatment option that involves minimal discomfort and can help relieve muscle and fascial tension areas. Don’t wait any longer to get the pain relief you deserve, call us today.

If you’re an overhead athlete like a golfer, tennis player, or baseball pitcher, and you’re experiencing shoulder pain or tightness, there are effective treatments that we can provide to help alleviate your discomfort. 

 

In addition to spinal and neck adjustments, we focus on addressing the muscles and soft tissue around your shoulder using techniques such as soft tissue work and pin and stretch. Our goal is to target trigger points and knots in your muscles, and then stretch and relax them to improve muscle function and joint movement. 

 

We also recommend using functional or structural tape to further support and aid in your shoulder’s recovery. While this tape won’t fix the issue, it can provide added assistance in getting your shoulder to feel and move better.

 

By addressing the muscles with manual therapy and stretches, we aim to loosen tight muscles or activate inactive ones so they can function properly and reduce the risk of injury. Ultimately, this improves your performance as an athlete. 

 

If you need soft tissue work or taping done, schedule an appointment with us today. I’m Dr. Jared Wadsworth, and I’m looking forward to helping you.
